ATHENS Cheap Mattias Ekholm Jersey , Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- Greek liberal economic reformer Kyriakos Mitsotakis, a former Administrative Minister, who represents the new generation of Greece's conservatives, was elected new leader of the main opposition New Democracy (ND) party on Sunday.

Veteran Vangelis Meimarakis who had served as interim party chief from July to November, 2015, after the resignation of former premier and party leader Antonis Samaras following the referendum on the country's new bailout agreement, received about 49 percent of votes.

The new leader of the ND, who has pledged to turn page and renew the party with hard work and unity Cheap Ryan Johansen Jersey , received congratulatory phone calls from Meimarakis and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras shortly before midnight.

In his first statement to media after the victory he promised to offer Greeks "a credible alternative solution."

Mitsotakis, the son of former prime minister and former ND party chief Konstantinos Mitsotakis, had entered the race for the leadership as an outsider, political analysts in Athens noted.

He had finished second in the Dec. 20 first ballot with 28.5 percent of votes after Meimarakis who had won 39.8 percent.

However, in the second round Mitsotakis had the support of the two other representatives of the younger generation of the conservatives who had participated in the first elections.

About 350,000 party supporters nationwide cast their ballots on Sunday to elect ND's new leader.

Media commentators in Athens noted that Meimarakis had struck a more conciliatory tone towards the Left-led government Cheap Pekka Rinne Jersey , leaving room for scenarios of a possible grand coalition between the now ruling Radical Left SYRIZA party and the conservatives, if deemed necessary.

Mitsotakis, a Harvard educated economist, had presented himself as the anti-Tsipras who strongly rejects "populism". He had underlined that he will vote against the government's critical bills, such as the upcoming pension reform, ruling out any prospect of an alliance with SYRIZA.

VIENNA Cheap Filip Forsberg Jersey , Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- A pair of panda twins, born last year here at Schoenbrunn zoo, celebrated their first birthday on Monday with a big party.

Being treated with their favorite foods, the panda twins lied leisurely in their pen to receive their guests, including visitors and media workers.

The birth of panda twins, Fu Ban and Fu Feng Cheap P.K Subban Jersey , in last August pushed the number of giant panda cubs naturally bred in Vienna to a new high of five. Three of them were sent back to China when they were big enough to leave their mother.

The birth of the panda twins also proved the successful adaption to the new life in Austria of their parents, Yang Yang and Long Hui. The panda couple arrived in Austria in 2003.

So far, no other European zoo has successfully managed to breed five giant pandas naturally. In Europe, most pandas are bred through artificial insemination.

Even in Vienna, how the panda pair was able to complete their historic task without human intervention remains mystery, and a hot topic for local media. But some attributed it to Vienna's livable environment.

Naming the cubs has been a big issue for the zoo Wholesale Nashville Predators Jerseys , which followed Chinese tradition to give the first three male cubs names of Fu Long, Fu Hu and Fu Bao, which mean lucky Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard respectively. But when it came to the twins, the zoo turned to the public to solicit name suggestions through an internet vote.

The giant panda's keeper Renate Haider told Xinhua that Yang Yang was doing very well in taking care of the twins Cheap Nashville Predators Jerseys , leaving less work for the keepers team.

She said it was not easy to identify the twins, but she managed to find ways to recognize them by different behaviors. Fu Ban is brave but sleepy, and Fu Feng sometimes likes to hide, Haider said. Fortunately, their mother treats them equally.

In December, the cubs' father Wholesale Predators Jerseys , 16-year-old Long Hui, died during an emergency examination. According to the zoo, there was a tumor measuring 10cm in his abdomen.

The zoo currently has no plan to find a stepfather for the cubs, as they are still young.

Giant pandas have helped raise the reputation of the Schoenbrunn zoo. In 2009 and 2010, it was voted Europe's best zoo.
